That's not stupid, it's in fact a must-have security feature. I'm sorry you forgot your pin, but there is no other way to unlock the phone without wiping data.

Whenever you restart any phone, iOS or Android, you have to put in the PIN for security reasons. So unless you remember that password, it's done for. That happened to me with my Smart Switch SD card backup, now I can't remember the password 10 months later, and I need to get into it.
